Spotting Signs of Abuse

Whether or not you come into regular contact with children or vulnerable adults, it’s crucial that people in society are aware of how to spot the signs of abuse and be aware that abuse comes in many forms and can be present in all situations.

It is important that young people are aware of the signs of abuse as this can sometimes be disguised as ‘tough love’ and if the abuse comes from someone that is trusted by a young person it is not only difficult to spot the warning signs but also difficult to report.
